Huge Spectacular 1950s Custom-Made Mid-Century Modern Aluminum Chandelier

About the Item

Do you have a massive, poorly lit Mid-Century Modern mansion that's missing a certain je ne sais quoi? Well look no further than this sensational, custom-made 1950s chandelier! Chandelier is completely constructed from solid brushed aluminum with spun aluminum shades and white acrylic diffusers. Each of the six arms ends with one indirect lamp (diffused and reflected down by shade) and one direct light (recessed into the can base). When lit, the recessed light illuminates the perforated can creating a wonderful celestial effect. This fixture was removed with others from the 1950s commercial building for which they were designed. We have a total of four of these fixtures available (two with a 6 foot drop and two with a 5 foot drop). If you have the height, this chandelier would be the focal point of any Mid-Century foyer or interior space!

  • Vintage 1949 Mid-Century Modern Custom L-Shaped Office Desk by George Nelson
    By George Nelson, Herman Miller
    Located in Lafayette, IN
    This remarkable piece is a one-off desk/wardrobe/bar/bookcase/storage cabinet custom-designed by George Nelson in 1949 to match his Basic Cabinet Series (BCS) for Herman Miller. The desk was made specifically for a client in the Promontory Apartment Building in Chicago designed by Nelson's associate, and world-renowned architect, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. The entire apartment was outfitted in pieces from George Nelson's Basic Cabinet Series for Herman Miller that sat, untouched for nearly 70 years in their original setting! In addition to two aluminium sconces, this piece also features hidden, fluorescent lighting mounted in the upper canopy as a clever solution to Mies van der Rohe's lack of ceiling fixtures. This is a gorgeous, grandiose, and extremely rare piece of design history that will instantly outfit an entire office in striking style! Features: Desk: - Book-matched walnut veneer - Built-in Bar - Built in coat closet/wardrobe - Dual aluminum sconces - Hidden, indirect fluorescent lighting - Silver-plated Herman Miller hardware - Dual "floating" book shelves - Tapered, cantilevered peninsula desk...
